It's usually different. In NZ I pay for kilometres for my diesel car, however tax for petrol cars is included in the price of the petrol. For electric cars they are new, so they will have a higher import tax, however there is no yearly tax - it is just a one-off price.
Electric cars however are slow and bad and there is a strong consensus in New Zealand (abeit an incredibly homophobic one) of people who use electric cars - and so they are not very popular.

You pay A lot of taxes owning and using a petrol/diesel car. Fuel are about the most expencive in the world! Then there are 1000s of roads that taxes you when driving on them. Im addition you pay 300£ for every car annualy. BUT for electroc cars, all of these taxes are zero, AND electric power are kind of cheep here, thus far. That is why Tesla model 3 will be a huge sucsess in my country....If this politic continues

I see. Maintenance/repair costs aren't significantly higher? Also, how often do they need charging? Surely charging stations aren't nearly as common as normal fuel stations.

The basic tesla 3 will only need charging after 350 km. You can get a bigger vertion, that can go 500 km before charging, and I think I prolly aim for the latter one, becouse of batteries draining faster in cold climate. The fast charging stations are scarse thus far, but they will come.....im sure of that....cos this is the future... Most ppl will only need to charge once a week, easy done on your home/slow charging

Libertarians think this is okay.
Another one of your posts that dont make any sence at all! The taxing on usage of the roads are spent on massive upgrades to our infrastucture. Like it or not, its kind of nessasary imo. Maybe @AOEisLOVE_AOEisLIFE can drive a little faster here and there, next time he visit our little rock in the northland;)

There is not much sense to be made. He is simply pointing out the fact that libertarians - something he considers himself being - generally support road tolls as a form of taxation which is saddening because he does not share the same view.

No I was kidding. It seems Spanky lives in a country that exports oil but doesn't use it, and advocates for socialism in America but doesn't want it in her own country.

Its their road, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.
Its funny you think paying taxes to maintain a road you use is bad, but you think its ok for someone to control what kind of content you can access online is totally fine.. Rofl
There is an argument to be made that roads should all be publically owned. Perhaps the same argument can be made for the internet, though. I am not sure.

in most democratic countries roads are owned by the public, in the sense that they belong to the state, and thus they belong to all of them. that is, if the democratic state is still by the people, for the people, instead of by the corporations, for the corporations. like in the United States of Applemania.
